Lines
Honancho Station is the terminus of the 3.2 km Honancho branch of the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line from Nakano-sakaue. It is numbered "m-03".
Station layout
The station consists of a single underground island platform on the second basement level, serving two tracks. The platforms are long enough to handle six-car trains, but as this station is served only by three-car Honancho branch line shuttle services, platform-edge doors are provided only for a three-car length, with steel fences provided along the remainder of the platform length.
There are two entrances to the station: Entrance 1 provides access to the west (terminating) end of the platforms via a concourse on the same second basement level, while Entrance 2 provides access to the east end of the platforms via a concourse on the first basement level. Toilet facilities are available on the Entrance 1 concourse.
History
The station opened on 23 March 1962. Construction work started in 2013 to extend the platform-edge doors along the platforms to handle six-car trains, allowing through-running services to and from Ikebukuro via the main Marunouchi Line from fiscal 2017.
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2013, the station was the hundredth-busiest on the Tokyo Metro network with an average of 33,335 passengers daily.
